1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue Logo
Anonymous Posted on Oct 10, 2009

The heater stopped blowing on my 98 Olds Intrigue. I was able to use the controls on high until last night, then they just stopped. I am still getting heat, but it's not blowing. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Blower motors generally last about 120k miles(in Minnesota) They have brushes which eventually wear out. As they wear there is less tension on them against the comutator and so it requires more voltage to get them to run. Thats generally why "Hi" on the control is the only one that will make them run close to the end of thier life. This dose not rule out the control itself or the resistors. The resistors are located under the glove box behind the blower. Remove them and visually check their condition. Measure them with an ohm meter, they should all be less than 20 ohms. Remove the control and check it for overheating. Switches like to become resistive and overheat, melting the plastic frame and the plug. If all checks good replace the blower motor. You could check the motor by applying 12 volts to it and it would probably run but now that its removed its been bumped around and the brushes are making better contact. So don't be tricked. Like I said, if it has alot of miles on it (time) your better off with a new one anyway.

Testimonial: "I will work on that! Thanks for the help. It's going to take a while to get it done, since I'm not a mechanic. Ironically, it started working again."

99 Olds intrigue heater fan now only has 1 speed(high). Would this be the fan or the heater control panel?

I just did this fix to mine. It is the blower motor resistor that is located between the fan motor and the firewall. You will have to remove the trim panel, under the dash. Then you will be able to remove the fan motor. The fan plugs directly into the resistor. You can get the part at checker for about $32.
